    treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable
    
    Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except the
    ones in ./net dir. The "net" sysctl code is special as it modifies the
    arrays before passing it on to the registration function.
    
    Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of
    proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata.
    This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide:
    constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the
    proc_handlers.
    
    Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command:
    Spatch:
        virtual patch
    
        @
        depends on !(file in "net")
        disable optional_qualifier
        @
        identifier table_name;
        @@
    
        + const
        struct ctl_table table_name [] = { ... };
    
    sed:
        sed --in-place \
          -e "s/struct ctl_table .table = &uts_kern/const struct ctl_table *table = \&uts_kern/" \
